Steveston Fish Market
Visit the Steveston Fish Market for fresh seafood direct from fishers at Fisherman's Wharf, Richmond, BC, in the heart of the historic fishing village of Steveston.
elcome to our Steveston Fish Market page. Here, we will keep you up-to-date on fish market activities and events. Launched in 1989, the Steveston Fish Market, or Public Fish Sales Float as it is officially
known, attracts thousands of visitors to Steveston's redeveloped waterfront. Steveston, once a major center for canned salmon, shipping product worldwide from what was once the world's busiest fishing port, is an appropriate backdrop for the fish market.
The Steveston Fish Market is a welcome addition to Steveston, with its historic sites, restaurants, parks and the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market. Fresh caught BC seafood is a healthy dietary choice and even more so in this fresh-air environment.

Fresh and frozen-at-sea salmon, prawns, shrimp, sardine, halibut, cod, tuna and other seasonal seafood
Great views of the river, harbor and Steveston Landing
Photo opportunities at every turn
